GENERAL SHERIDAN's s lecture at the
Congregational Church last evening on
"The Modern Pagan was oratorically
brilliant and in many respects logically
effective. The General will permit us
TO suggest, however, that he would add
strength to his argument by making 1t
less of a personal attack on Colonel In
gersoll. We do not believe that Pagan
Bob Is cowardly or insincere. In fact
ii requires a brave and honest man to
maintain the positions which he as.
sumes, and General Sheridan should
meet him as an antagonist altogether
worthy of his steel. THE CRlTIC's ad-
vice would, therefore, be that the lee.
ture be pruned in thls respect; Infused
with more Of the warm blood of sym.
pathy and eliminated of all dcrogalory

Tho Glass, Circulating Letter

An ingenious scheme was devised by n class
of young Indies who were graduated from a
prominent New York seminary few wears
ago. Ono of them, now residing in this city.
thus explains it: "Tlerc were nine of us il, tic
class, and VIC were all promising to write to
each other continually, but in our hearts we
knew that such n correspondence could never
be kept up Finally one of the girls suggested
circulating letter. and the idea pleased us
all. AT the expiration of one month from tho
time we parted tho first girl wrote letter
telling what she had been doing and every
thing about herself which would be likely to
interest the Others This letter was sert to
the second girl, who, after reading it, wrote
her own letter and sent tho two to tho third.
The third, fourth, fifth, and all the others in
turn added their letters until the ninth OH tho
list sent it back to the first Then tho circuit
was complete and we had the circulating Let.
ter fairly under way. Now, of course, tho
envelope always contains nine letters, and
each girl, when it comes to her, takes out her
own letter, writes new one telling what
She has bcen doing in the meantime, and
starts it on Its travels again. You can have
no idea how interesting it is to receive the
letter and how anxiously we all await its
arrival when our turn comes. We have kent
j! up for nearly -four years, and each timc tho
l"tt"r comes round the pleasure of reading
what all the girls have to say seems to in
crease. One of the girls is in Washington,
another in Chicago, another in Southern Cali
fornin, another in Paris, and one, when last
heard OF her, was in Egypt. Some of them
are married. San Francisco Alta.
